Back to rainy spring, and according to the dogs, there was a thunderstorm out there somewhere. There's snow in the central highlands and the wind is coming straight off that.
Finn has developed an aversion to the back steps. They are tiled and relatively slippery, and it's possible he did slip on the way down (he's perfectly happy to go up) and hurt himself and now he's scared to go down. He did have a day or two of needing convincing to go down the one step out the front door, but we had a discussion about having to get out of the house sooner or later, one way or another.
We made another curry with a marked down roast pork from Woolies. It goes really well in the rich coconut milk curries, toss in a heap of veges and squirt of lime juice and a little yoghurt and it's a lovely meal.
It's Aimee's 30th birthday today. I remember holding her in my lap as a days old baby.
As Sarge isn't very efficient with his cleaning I've instituted a wipe down each evening to help clean his coat. He's alot more tolerant of that than a weekly bath and is dry and comfortable alot sooner.
While I was out thistle spraying I walked the fenced off soak area. The trees we planted as 20cm high seedlings are now well established and starting to flower at the moment. Many of them are on the spiky side and make great nesting places for native birds.
Many small glades are among the trees, kept open by wallabies. These glades are protected from the wind and are lovely sun traps.
